I have an Ithaca with REO in gold leaf on the front door, however, I am not certain it is a REO. Could you send me a photo of the Ithaca REO so I can verify my clock. Thank you for your assistanace with this request.

We've passed this on to experts in our History and Technology department, Jim - watch this space!

Our curator would like some clarification, Jim. What does "REO" refer to, in your enquiry? We're not sure what "Ithaca REO" refers to, and what a genuine example of such a clock would be.

Greetings: I am in the process of restoring an Ithaca Calendar clock identical to this one in your collection. I have the original drawing of the clock from the 1880 Ithaca catalog if you'd like an image. I am in need of a high-quality digital photo showing the profile of top center finial for my restoration work. I was wondering if you'd be willing to help me in this matter. Sincerely, Gregory Hall

The reo should be RENO. This was a model name. There weren't a whole lot of them made.
